Bmw Z3 Roadster on 2040-cars
Kerrville, Texas, United States

BMW states that they build the UDM (Ultimate Driving Machine) and I agree. I have been a sports car enthusiast since my 20's. Now in my 70's, I must say that this is the best sports car I have ever owned. It is a pleasure to drive. I am the third owner. The first owner was a rocket scientist at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. He owned a place at Fort Myers, FL, where he kept this car. After his death, he left the car to his property caretaker. The caretaker was a large man and found he didn't fit into this roadster and he told me that he would rather have the money than to have a car he didn't fit into. I bought it from him about three years ago. Presently, I own two sports cars and being in my 70's I've slowed down somewhat. I own two other cars as well as the sport cars. I don't have that many places to go for all the cars I own. This BMW is a beautiful automobile and needs someone to drive it, therefore I'm putting it up for auction. It has a tonneau cover that you can see in the pictures. The soft top is a little over a year old. The original top was tan and was in good condition except for the piping around the rear window. Someone who lives about 10 blocks away from my house has the same BMW so I thought I would make mine a little more head-turning. I had a burgundy top installed. Burgandy is the factory color. Actually, it appears redder than what I thought it would be. It stops a lot of folks to have a look at it when they walk by. Payment must be complete within 7 days. Any negotiable payment is acceptable as long as it is in U.S. Dollars and in my pocket within that 7 day period. Shipping is the responsiblity of the buyer. I will, if the buyer pays for my full expenses, deliver it to your doorstep as long as your doorstep is in the lower 48 states. I will also meet the buyer at the San Antonio International Airport and deliver the car to you there where you can drive away. You may contact me on my mobile phone @830-370-6782. Thanks for your interest and good bidding. |

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
BMW releases complete pricing info on M3 and M4
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When BMW unveiled the M3 and M4 at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, we told you that the new sportsters were starting at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively. That leaked info, though, only told a small part of the story for the new M cars. Now, we have the complete pricing sheet on the new coupe and sedan, direct from BMW.
The pricing intel that we had at the time was correct - prices start at $62,000 for four doors and $64,200 for two. Those prices don't include the $925 destination charge. Potential customers should also plan on spending an extra $550, as seven of the eight paint options are of the metallic variety. BMW's trademark Alpine White is the only no-cost paint option.
As for the cabin, customers will, interestingly, have the choice of a cloth/leather combination as standard. That's in addition to the standard suite of leather options. There are also extended leather and full leather options, for $950 and $3,500, respectively. There are three option packages available, covering all the extra goodies for the M3 and M4.
This BMW 2 Series ad has run afoul of Aussie ad watchdogs [w/poll]
Tue, 29 Apr 2014A complaint by an Australian movie-goer has put the brakes on an extended in-theater ad campaign by BMW, and drawn the attention of the country's Advertising Standards Board. According to the anonymous complaint, the ad "portrays an unfavorable message, contrary to safe and sensible driving."
The ASB upheld the complaint, which said the ad for the new M235i showed driving "typical of hoon activity," thanks to the burnouts, dusty drifts and runs up to redline. It's that last one that seems to have gotten the spot in the most trouble, with the ASB acknowledging that even though the car wasn't shown breaking the speed limit, the ad was in violation of a voluntary code of conduct for automotive advertising, according to Australia's Go Auto.
BMW doesn't seem to agree, pointing out that the ad uses creative editing, aggressive camera angles and other filming tricks to "add visual impact."
